Here is the problem:
Total sales are $5125 and units sold are 1653. Units can be sold either on sale or not on sale. The price on sale or feature sale price (FSP) was $2.25. How many units were sold on sale?
I can derive 2 formulas, but I have 3 variables to solve. Here's how far I have gotten:
Regular price = RSP
Units sold on Sale = Promoted volume (PV)
Units sold at regular = non-promoted volume (NPV)
Total volume = TV
Equation 1: TV = PV + NPV
Equation 2: Total Sales = (RSP x NPV) + (FSP x PV) or $5125 = (RSP x NPV) + 2.25PV
I cannot determine another equation to help solve this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
